+1 morally bankrupt mercenary
Hello, I'm Tempest (
isadiya over on plurk, if you want to friend me or PP me ) and I'm new to the game. I've heard many good things, I'm very excited to be here.
So. Raise your hand if you've ever wanted to see a villain try to be their idea of what a hero is. Well you're in luck, then, people who raised your hand -- also, put it down, the people around you are gonna look at you funny -- because I'm bringing with me Locus from the popular webseries Red vs Blue. And that is more or less exactly what he's here for.
Short version: Locus is a UNSC vet-turned-mercenary who has done some Very Bad Things, up to and including attempted global genocide. He then abruptly heel-turned and decided that the things he had done were in fact Very Bad, and that he was going to try to redeem himself.
But not by, y'know, turning himself over to the people he'd been terrorizing or seeking help or taking any actual responsibility for his actions. Nope. He's going to continue to be a stoic, violent, broken mess. Just aiming all that at people who might actually have it coming.
So. This Legion thing should be fun. At least there's rules and order. He lives for that stuff. He'll also be pretty handy to have on your side ( got enhanced physique, marksmanship, and even temporary invisibility on his side ) but...this guy isn't the easiest to make friends with. Hell. You'd have a hard time getting a glimpse of him outside of his armor.
Please try anyway. It's going to be hilarious or a disaster, and entertaining either way.
Looking forward to playing with you guys!

Hiya Tempest, I'm Kaylin, one of the mods here! I play Parker from Leverage, a thief and criminal mastermind in the Robin Hood mold, and Tadashi Hamada from Big Hero 6, a professional nerd and older brother. Welcome to the game!
no subject
Thanks! I'm familiar with Tadashi, and I've glimpsed Parker a time or two, but in either case, very much looking forward to playing with you!

Hi, I'm Carolyn. I play Locus's polar opposite, the friendly, cheerful, genuinely heroic and selfless Namorita Prentiss, who goes everywhere in a bathing suit.
They're gonna be friends, I can tell.
no subject
Ahahaha, that sounds delightful. Obviously they have to meet. He would at least appreciate her color scheme.
no subject
She compares all surly guys in armor to Dr. Doom, so, y'know, at least Locus wins on that one.

So learning from the people here's gonna be a thing, no matter how much he wants to do this schtick on his own.

I'd like to chat with you and come up with a plan of action, namely because I don't want Wash to completely ruin Locus' chances at positive CR straight out of the gate. |Db Are you game?

I'm Zita, I play the Master Chief and Grif! Grif is from the end of season 5 and has nooooooo idea whatsoever about Locus and will probably needle him like anyone else. Chief's heard the basics of the story from Wash though so uh. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I def don't intend to make a huge thing of it especially as he's not even part of that cast and I don't want to make it even more work for you unless everyone's on board.
Welcome to the game!

Don't worry about it! I'm fine with a little neg CR to start. I can roll with it.

I'm a mod here, and I play Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls and Nova/Rich Rider from Marvel Comics. Rich especially makes friends with a lot of broken psychos (with titles like "the destroyer," "the accuser," and "the deadliest woman in the galaxy") and kind of has a thing where he helps point them in the direction of who's got it coming, so he might try to do the same with Locus.
no subject
Awesome. Well, then Locus should be right up that alley. He really does just need someone to point him in the right direction and pull the trigger. Don't listen to anything Wash tells you.
